City Performance Hall
The City Performance Hall is a multi-disciplinary center that will bring to the Dallas Arts District a broad range of cultural performances and events by a growing group of small and midsize cultural organizations that represent all artistic disciplines and the diverse heritages of our community. Located at the intersection of Routh and Flora, the City Performance Hall will be a gateway to the Arts District.

The City Performance Hall is designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP. SOM's design for the City Performance Hall is intended to provide a lyrical and elegant addition to the Dallas Arts District. The facility will be a unique and delightful "village for the arts" for the many performing arts groups that will use the complex. The facility is made up of linear pavilions, capped by varying ribbon-like roof forms. Each of the different spaces is clearly articulated, making the complex easy to navigate and utilize. The building's forms are a direct expression of the volumes required for the 750-seat multi-purpose hall; the two 200-seat flexible theaters; art gallery; café; two classrooms / rehearsal spaces; along with the supporting spaces necessary to operate a performing arts facility. A series of courtyards accent the complex, providing special event areas for visitors and performers. An arcade runs thru the facility, liking Ross to Flora Street. The center will be built in two phases; Phase One includes the 750-seat hall and its support and public areas. Funding for the City Performance Hall is provided by the Citizens of Dallas thru the 2006 Bond Program.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP is one of the world's leading architecture, urban design, engineering, and interior architecture firms. Founded in 1936, SOM's sophistication in building technology applications and commitment to design quality has resulted in a portfolio that features some of the most important architectural accomplishments of the 20th century including such notable buildings as the Sears Tower and John Hancock Center (Chicago); the Lever House (New York); Canary Wharf (London) and the Washington Mall and Constitution Gardens (Washington, D.C.). SOM Design Partner Leigh Breslau leads the design team in association with Corgan Associates, Jaffee Holden, and SchulerShook.
